Comment Is it the school's network? (Score 0) 1211
I work with several colleges who have deployed campus wireless networks. If you are plugging the AP into their network in any way and if you are in their dorm they have the ability to regulate their own property. At Colorado College where I have done some wireless work they scan on a regular basis to insure that there are no rouge access points that have been put up by students. It is a security nightmare and also can interfere with the college run network. It's no a question of FCC regulations or any of that it's a question of the college being allowed to have control of their own network which they are responsible for.
